Boris Galerkin posted:About the finish the BP this week too, not sure if I should buy the $10 pass. I’ll be pulling for Hu Tao and should get her (45ish pulls in, 30 saves, and I pulled an off banner character already). If I did, what weapon should I get? I could get Razor’s weapon to R1, or a polearm for Hu Tao. I also have prototypes: sword x2, bow x1, catalyst x2, polearm x2. Hu Tao would want either Deathmatch or White Tassel. Deathmatch is a nice consistent option while R5 White Tassel is better when normal attacking and drops off hard when charge attacking. none of the craftables are suited for her, Favonius definitely doesn't come close to other options. Dragon's Bane is probably too hurt by low refine to compete, even in best cases it's weaker but offers a big vape damage boost.

Been sitting on 76 pulls for ages now, got Hu on my third pull. My triple-A fire user, time to make a new team! How is deathmatch for her? e: c2 XQ to go with it, fitting! ee: oh no, time to grind the new boss I guess valuum fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Mar 2, 2021 |

Everyone's a carry if you try hard and believe in yourself. But, she's actually a carry.

# ? Mar 2, 2021 19:23 |

From what I've seen she doesn't look ganyu levels of busted but she does good damage. Of course you have to deal with her skill downtime and hp drain. Good idea to have a shield bot I'd imagine. I already have klee so not too interested. But gonna do some pulls anyway for the 4 stars. Still 50ish away from soft pity so we'll see what happens I guess.

Other things equal, is there a specific use case for either a sword or a polearm weapon? Claymores break rocks and shields and stagger things, catalysts are ranged elemental, bows are long-range phys/elemental, swords and polearms just seem like standard melee AAs. Reason I ask is my initial reason for not pulling Hu Tao was "I already have a pyro polearm C5 character," but Xiangling is really either a phys carry or a pyro support and the weapon type only matters insofar as I either have a good polearm lying around for a new character or I don't. I think "I already have every other non-Diluc Pyro character and all of the ones worth using are respectably geared" is probably a better reason not to pull since the waifu bug isn't biting this time around.

I like how Hu Tao's playstyle is vaguely reminiscent of her general character theme. She ping pongs her own HP and walks between life and death in her own gameplay.

# ? Mar 2, 2021 19:42 |

I'm really tempted to get Hu Tao. I should have enough wishes saved up to get her as my next 5* pity and I randomly pulled the Vortex Vanquisher a long time ago which should be a good weapon for her, but I already have Diluc, Klee, and C6 Xiangling. I don't need another pyro carry!

There's not really a reason to specifically bring a sword or polearm user, no. Every sword/polearm user is pretty much defined by their kit rather than the weapon they use. It does look like, generally, swords have medium speed attack chains with wider arcs, while polearms hit quickly and with longer reach. Although, Xiao bucked that trend and it looks like Hu Tao does too.

swords are the best weapon type for cutting down bushes. i wish this was a joke.

# ? Mar 2, 2021 20:24 |
i prefer spears to cut down stuff like that or knock fruit out of trees. there doesn't seem to be a significant difference in how well swords work when they're otherwise obviously slower.

Ok, it's been said before but Geo traveler is legit. Her E is annoying but does good damage and regenerates a lot of energy when you need it and her Q does crazy damage and will proc favonious sword even with bad crit rate. I think she's a really good inclusion for a 3 geo team (in my case, Noelle/Albedo/Traveler).

I have a love-hate relationship with Geo MC, but yeah he's been stapled to my B-team since 1.2 Any time I accidentally climb a rock or get caught on the invisible edges of his burst, I just remember the 17k E's and all the energy he feeds Zhongli.

If there was ever any doubt that you should never pull for 5* constellations, please enjoy this video of Tenha slowly losing his mind as he hits hard pity and offbanners all the way to C6 it's like watching a slow motion car accident https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etFA8bBXIcQ e: he starts out with $1400 in primogems and runs out at C5 lol. fight the brainworms, friends Soothing Vapors fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Mar 2, 2021 |

The HP hit of her skill feels pretty harsh, at least initially, to the point I don't think she feels that fun to play compared to some other characters. Maybe you have to really invest in her to get something good out of her but right now the risk/reward is mostly risk with barely any reward.

Well my luck finally ran out. After zhongli, albedo, and ganyu, I finally got an off banner 5 star. C1 mona. To add insult to injury mona is the only standard banner 5 star I've gotten so far. It was such an unlikely thing to happen. Also got c6 xingqui and xiangling... And then some, like c7 each. No chongyun, I have yet to pull him, good thing I selected him during the lantern rite. And with an off banner sucrose I now have every 4 star (and a non traveler anemo!). A very very mixed bag.

Finally some luck on a limited banner. 30 pulls got me Hu Tao, Xiangling c4, Xinqiu c2.

figured I'd roll to get xiangling's last constellation and ended up rolling her twice in a single 10 roll and hu tao on top of that was actually hoping to lose the 50/50 to set up pity for later but oh well. it's my fault for rolling instead of just buying c6 from the shop later

Did a bunch of pulls and didn't get Hu Tao but DID manage to get C5 Chongyun and C3 XQ, so it's not a complete loss. Might try to at least hit pity before her banner ends. Boyfriend's really sad though bc he got her really quickly, lol. Thaaaaaaat's gacha

Is Hu Tao a good Crescent Pike user? Seems like she has an easy time triggering the echo damage at will, but I'm not sure if the %Physical damage gets added in before the conversion to fire damage or if it just gets ignored.

It gets ignored. For F2P options, White Tassel may not a bad choice due to its good substat.
